ST. MATTHEWS – A hearing will be held on Monday, Nov. 17, by the Calhoun County Election Commission to consider the protests filed by two unsuccessful candidates in the races for the District 1 and District 4 seats on the Calhoun County School District Board of Trustees in the Nov. 4 general election.
Calhoun County Voter Registration Director Tomasine Brice said that during Friday’s certification of election results, both Tommy Glover, who failed in his bid for the District 1 school board seat, and District 4 incumbent Michael Drake, who lost his reelection bid, filed protests.
Brice said she could not discuss the basis for the protests filed by Glover or Drake until she has talked with the county attorney, which she said will probably be Wednesday, Nov. 15. Brice noted that she is having a minor surgical procedure on Monday and that on Tuesday county offices will be closed for Veterans’ Day.
In Tuesday’s general election, District 1 incumbent Gary Porth was reelected, and veteran educator Joyce Parrish defeated District 4 incumbent Michael Drake.

If saying "God help the board if they have to put up with this piece of work" is the worst thing ever said about someone then that person must be a true saint.
You know you can still file a protest with the state election commission. "

God can be refered to Jesus if you are a Christian. When the g in god is capitalized, it gives the word a completely diffrent meaning. That's another ball of wax though. Thanks for the well wishes in the protest. I missed the meeting because I was out of the country. "Everything works out for the good of those who love....." "

Everyone is a true individual right?
Second anyone can express an opinion right?
Third "god" is not a name it is a title for any entity that a person confers special homage too.
Jesus is a name, Allah is a name, Yahweh is a name. I did not take any name in vain when I said god help the board if they have to put up with this piece of work for four years.
Good luck on your protest btw. "

This woman is not the kind of change this district needs.
